Heaped upon Noted Englishman FOR
His Open Honesty.

OF England, mas Rot iuto PioicoSAoAoi
| trouble for writing the following open
letter to the editor of the London Family
! Doctor:
| ~ believe il to be the duty of every
physician to make known any means or
| remedy whereby sickness can be prevented,
and it is for this purpose write to give
my experience both here and abroad.
ask the publication OF the statement
| that people may be warned before it is
too late, to say to them that there is at
hand means by which they may be re-
| stored to perfect health. 1t is we'll
known TO the medical world, and indeed,
| to the laity, that certain disease is max
ing terrible havoc; that next to eonsump-
ton it is the most fatal, and that when
! fully developed there is nothing to be
done for the sufferer
| physicians and scientists have long
been trying to throw light upon the cause
and if possibly, find in nature a medicine
for this fatal malady. They have shown,
absolutely, that the blood-purifying or
gans of vital importance, are the kidneys
and that when they once fail, the poison
which they should take out of the blood is
carried by the blood into every part of
the body, developing disease"
''In my hospital practice in England,
India and South America, and also while
a surgeon in the Royal Navy of Great
Britain, gave great deal of attention
to the study of diseases of the kidneys
aud urinary organs, and found that not
only was the cure OF chronic Brights Dis
ease hopeless, but that kidney disease
was remarkably prevalent; much more so
than generally known, and was the cause
of the majority of cases of sickness, and
further, that the medical profession has
no remedy which exerts any absolute con-
troll over these organs in disease"
"Some time ago when / had case
which resisted all regular treatment
which is very limited, -complicate with
the passing of stones from the kidneys,
much against my will permitted my pa
tient to use Warmers safe cure, of which
1 had heard marvellous results. In his
case the result was simply marvellous, as
the attack was severe one, and develop
ment very grave, for an analysis showed
per cent. of albumen and granular tube
casts"
1.-THE action of the medicine was SIN
gular and incomprehensible to me |
had never seen anything like it. The
patient recovered promptly and IS 20
Joy a NOll dhd hthAtbJ ihio Sh'h'N
lated my inquiry into the merits of tho
remedy, and after analysis found t to
be of purely vegetable character, harm
less to take under all circumstances"
Casting aside all professional preiu-
dice. I gave it thorough trial, as
was anxious that my patients should be
restored to health, no matter By what
medicine. / prescribed 1t in great var
sety of cases, Aeute, Chronic, Bright's
Disease, Congestion of the Kidneys,
Catarrh of the Bladder, and in every in
stance did it speedily effect cure"
''For this reason deem it my duty to
give to the world this statement regard
ing the value of Warmers safe cure. ]
make this statement on facts am prepar-
ed to produce and substantiate. l appeal
to physicians of large practice who know
how common and deceptive diseases of
the kidneys arc, to lay aside professional
prejudice, give their patients Warner s
safe cure, restore them to perfect health,
earn their gratitude, and thus be true
physical MS"
81 am satisfied that more than one
half of the deaths which occur in Eng
land are caused, primarily, by impartial
action of the kidneys, and the consequent
retention in the blood of the poisonous
uric and kidney acid. Warmers safe
cure causes the kidneys to expel this
poison, checks the escape of albumen, re-
lieves the Inflammation and prevents i'll
ness from impaired and impoverished
blood. Having had mere than seventeen
years experience in my profession, con
scientiously and emphatically state that
have been able to give more relief and
effect more cures by the use of Warner 8
safe cure than by all the other medicines
ascertainable TO the profession, the ma
lority of which / am sorry to say, are very
uncertain in their action"
isn't that straight forward, manly
letterS-
Indeed it is"
"Well, bat do you know the author has
been dreadfully prosecuted for writing
itfn
"How SO? What has he done to merit
ity"
|, dome? He has spoken the truth 'out of
school and his fellow physicians, who
want the public to think they have a
monopoly in curing diseases, are terribly
angry with him for admitting profession
oil inability to reach certain disorders.
That letter created wonderful sensa-
lion among tho titled classes and the
|, public. This Jared the doctors terribly.
The College of Surgeons and Queens
College, from which institution he was
graduated, asked for an explanation OF
his professional conduct, and notified
him that unless he made retraction they
would discipline him.
The doctor replied that he allowed his
patients to make use of Warmers safe
cure only after all the regular methods
lad failed and when he was satisfied that
there WAS no possible hope for them.
= Upon their recovery, after having used
Warmers safe cure, he was so much sur
prised that he wrote the above letter to
the Family Doctor. He regretted that
the faculties found fault with his action
in the matter, bat he could not conscien-
tiously retrsct the facts as written TO the
Family Doctor.
The faculties of both colleges replied
that unless he retracted they should cut
him Of, which would naturally debar him
from again practicing his profession, and
also prevent his securing another appoint
